I love the feeling of cool mist on my skin, especially when scented with flowers and citrus and earth. As a teenager, I collected bottles of perfume and reveled in the transformative magic that aroma inspires. Soft honeyed amber, light fruity florals, and spicy evergreen woods set the mood each morning before I adventured out into the world.

We are so excited to share this post from our upcoming Free Herbalism Project speaker Susan Leopold, PhD!

The sun is shining and the weather is sweet here in the Willamette Valley. Throughout the rainy season, we spent days dreaming up excursions to explore the coast, rivers, and mountains of Cascadia, and it is finally time to put these plans into motion! 

In celebration of Herb Day, we've created this free herbal preparations e-book as our gift to you! Learn to craft tinctures, infused oils, herbal vinegars, salves, mushroom extracts, and more with this gorgeous guide. Soon you will be well-stocked with herbal goodness!
